Snowstorms on Mars!

The video discusses recent discoveries in planetary science, focusing on snow phenomena on Mars and diamond rain on ice giants like Uranus and Neptune. On Mars, snow may fall rapidly in microbursts, similar to some Earth storms, potentially affecting future drone missions. Meanwhile, researchers recreated diamond rain conditions in a lab, simulating the high pressures inside ice giants. This process involves methane forming carbon chains that become diamonds under extreme pressure. These findings enhance our understanding of planetary atmospheres and could impact the study of exoplanets.
